There is an App for That! We Call It AirMaxx

NCI is excited to launch a NEW member-only mobile app that is available at NO ADDITIONAL COST. It is called AirMaxx’ and is included in all ComfortMaxx’ subscriptions. It is available for both Android and iOS phones.

AirMaxx enables you to show homeowners the ‘airflow grade’ for their HVAC systems. All you need is to collect some nameplate information, then do four static pressure measurements, and input the results into the app. The app does all the calculations and produces customer-centric graphs and wording for you to show them. This helps customers better understand what is happening with their comfort system and can help you close more duct renovation and air upgrade sales.

This mobile companion to ComfortMaxx doesn’t require a data plan ‘ it is all resident right on your phone. It has a very simple and clean interface and is easy to use.
